My new mini fridge kicked in right away in barn when I bought it last fall. It won't come on now. Is there a switch or something I am not turning on?

Check the vents in back. Dust tends to collect and stop the fans from turning, which in turn stops the cooling. I vacuumed the vents religiously, to no avail. This fridge was one of my worst purchases ever. I junked it and bought a little Kenmore instead.

Sorry, but most likely it has become a worthless piece of junk just like both of mine did.... and those of many others. Live and learn.

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. I bought this mini fridge as a gift for someone.

Actually, the vents might be on the side. I don't recall exactly. But you should be able to see the fan blades through said vents. I'll bet they're no longer turning.

Does the freezer have a ice build up. If not the compressor may be bad. If so then the defrost thermostat maybe bad. You can troubleshoot by checking the board

In my view, replacement is your best bet. the cost of the light switch is low, replacement is easy. Unless your fridge is not old, I would just replace the switch if you start tinkering with it. I initially tried all kinds of alternative solutions (pushing up, down, to the side etc) but replacement has been the answer. My fridge (Subzero) was close to 20 years old when I replaced the light switch last year.

The one I purchased was only a freezer. But I returned the first one it was dented up. The second one only worked 3 months than broke, I called and they told me how to fix by unplugging, turned knob 5 times leave sit 3or 4 hours plug back in. Actually worked, first time. within a month broke again and work not work. Said had to pack it up and ship it for repairs to them. They will not pay for local repairs. We dumped it.

Do I need to turn the power off to the laundry room to replace the device? the little spring on the inside is broken so the ability to auto turn on won't happen. It will turn off though..then the ticking continues and its annoying. Probably a new one is a better idea anyway.

My treadmill is also in our basement. I hadn't used it for months and when I decided to start exercising again, I couldn't get the screen to light up. I unplugged it, then plugged it back in and it started right up. Not sure if that's what you're asking.... also check the switch in the front/bottom of the treadmill to see if it has been turned off.

Do this test first. Turn on your AC unit, unplug it, then plug it back in. If the unit runs after plugging back in, the Ranco should work. I use my mine for controlling a fridge to ferment beer. The fridge is an always on device so the Ranco works great. Conversely, the Ranco won't power up a heater I'd like to use for the same purpose --- requires you to hit the on/off button.

chances are your fridge is very efficient and does not use a measurable amount of power on standby, but it will jump when the compressor kicks in. If you can hear the fridge running, it's guaranteed that you should be getting a measurable watts reading

Same Here Patricia. We just got ours last week and we let it sit for hours then turned it on and nothing!! It won't get cold, won't turn on and if it does have a light...it's not working either. I'm sending it back. Good luck with yours.

That was one of my concerns too. I just unplug it. There is no indication in the book. I've tried holding down the reset button. Doesn't work.

The crock will reset. It will not continue to cook until you start it again. Try unplugging it and plugging it back in. You will see that there is no memory function if power is lost.

Yeah I had same issue if you open the back you'll see board is burned out. Mine just clicked and wouldn't get cold. Swapped out board working just fine

The unit is definitely affected by cold weather. Since the switch stopped working on our first unit we've always been sure to bring the units inside when the weather gets to freezing.

I would remove the internal rechargeable battery and unplug the power, after first shutting off the power switch on the tv. Put the battery back in and turn it on, see what happens.

I have a Kitchen aid refrigerator that just turned 3 years old. The LED light went out at the top - the light that tells you what level of cold is working. They wanted 400.00 to fix that - ridiculous of course - when you reset the circuit breaker, it takes the unit back to factory settings which is fine - I didn't pay to have the board replaced. (1/3 of the price of the refrigerator for a tiny light) - Now I am thinking of getting an extended warranty but Kitchen Aid won't refer me and I don't know where to get a reliable warranty company - any help before the next problem will be enormously appreciated!!

I believe you need to use the convection bake temp. Ours did not work properly, but when no one was in the room, the light would come on, the fan would start and the convection bake would turn on all by itself. We had to keep it unplug every time we were not using it. Please be watchful. Hope you have better luck than we did.
